I could also write a journal of times, dates and places and I could make up any number of things. Y'know? You need police reports, convictions. That sort of thing.
I'm still not seeing grounds for a restraining order.Perhaps a more concise way of stating the next three paragraphs is that this man has contemptuously defied the Court many times, and has remained unscathed. This is not vengeance, this is I've finally had enough.
I am asking these questions because I do not KNOW what will happen if he does not show up for court, and because despite having paid an attorney I am still in the dark.
We cannot guess what will happen if he doesn't show. If you can't get answers from your attorney, you need to find a new attorney.
You chose that "joke". And that's not me judging you - that is, literally, the way the court will see it.
I am the only family my son has besides this joke of a father and I am AFRAID of what will happen tomorrow.
I am sincerely grateful for any advice you could give, but frankly find your tone quite condescending.
No you're not. And that's fine.
I am a victim and I am trying to use the system to put a stop to being a victim; so far the only help received from anywhere has been repeated kicks to the cods. So any advice on how to best present myself and my case at the hearing would be very, VERY much appreciated.
Talk to your attorney.
And honestly hon? Get into therapy. The victim mentality CAN be overcome - trust me, I've been there done that and worn ragged the t-shirt.
